No, since swords (as most people think of them) are made from metal, they did not appear until the bronze age. They did have knives and smaller blades in the stone age made from flint though.
Many primitive people did have long fighting instruments with sharp edges though which filled the same function as swords. A good example of this is the Aztec's maquahuitl, a weapon shaped like a wooden sword whose sides are embedded with small blades made from obsidian, a volcanic glass. It is logical to assume that other primitive or stone age cultures would have made similar device.
